Background

Siemens ist ein führender Hersteller von Elektromotoren und Getriebemotoren. Am Standort Tübingen fertigt Siemens Getriebe und Getriebemotoren. Es ist geplant, die Jahresstückzahl deutlich zu erhöhen. Die Montage sowie der zugehörige Lagerbereich sind heute voll ausgelastet. Auf dem Nachbargrundstück kann eine zusätzliche Halle errichtet werden. PI wurde beauftragt, die Fertigung und Logistik in Hinblick auf das anstehende Wachstum und die vom Markt geforderten kürzeren Lieferzeiten neu zu gestalten.

Results

• Dedicated assembly islands with U-shape and flow principle (where appropriate)
• Material supply via JIS or Kanban and logistics train
• Significantly reduced throughput times
• Capacity expansion

PI services

Factory planning, process planning, logistics planning

Concept design
analogous to VDI 5200, phases 1 to 3

• Assembly Segmented according to product and customer requirements,
• individual assembly principles defined and
• capacity requirements designed
• JIS (just-in-sequence) material supply designed and simulated
• Warehouse and order picking designed and statically/dynamically laid out
• Transport by logistics train designed
• Expansion of the paint shop specified
• Layout variants examined in terms of material flow and investment
• Migration scenario for the target layout created
• Investment requirements determined
• Schedule created
